Muse, Kasabian & Prodigy have played loads of gigs in Ireland recently so its a bit samey and wouldn't have the same draw if they only come over now and again.

Muse played twice in Ireland last year. I would not say that is loads of gigs.

Haven't been in about 3 years. It was gradually getting worse every year with the underage scum so can't imagine what this year will be like. Pity, back in the early days of Oxegen/Witness it was always a great weekend.

No doubt Electric Picnic will go this way soon enough too.

There are some acts I'd like to see: Mumford & Suns, John Mayer, Faithless, Stereophonics and Temper Trap. But with ****e headliners like that, I'll be keeping clear. If the government bombed Oxegen that year, Ireland's IQ would probably jump up about 20 points

Naos · 23-02-2010 05:38PM

I'm just happy that it means the scum will stay here in Ireland whilst I venture into Europe for bigger & better festival again.

Yeah slight sensationalism by me but its not like they're only over here once or twice in 4 or 5 years? Fans have had plenty of opportunities to see them also so it sorta dilutes their ability to draw in a big crowd. Its not like RATM or Pearl Jam who are rarities over here and would have huge fan bases who might miss out on tickets if they only did one or two shows.

Why two rappers to headline? I'm really disappointed with the line up so far. I just hope there are lots of good smaller bands still to be announced. And maybe a bit of arctic monkeys..

Artic Monkeys were EPIC the year i seen them, they had some ****ty time like 2 on the saturday and it was raining but was amazing, cant remember who came on after that, i do remember The Strokes The Who and James Brown..... Now THAT was a line up

Young, pregnant, with x's in your name...Are you sure you're not dying to go?

Dexters16 · 23-02-2010 05:58PM

Im 23, hardly young, im very HAPPILY pregnant, and yes my impending motherhood has ensured that im learning to enjoy some finer things in life so oxegen will be way down that list,

I dont see why a thread about oxegen needs to have such personal remarks all the same.

sbsquarepants · 23-02-2010 06:03PM

Line up needed a bit of shaking up, Kings of Leon - you get a better show from their cd, f.ucking brutal on stage. As mentioned before- snow patrol?? i'd rather see a snow man than those shower of pretentous twats. As for electric picnic, it's a totally different audience, ex hippies, parents with kids and an assortment of trying desperately hard to be cool students and "real music fans", you know the type who only like obscure rubbish. Rap or hip hop or whatever you want to call it may not be to everybodies taste but Jay Z has had 11 No.1 albums in a row in the states, you can't tell me that was an accident or a fad. The man is a bone fide musical genius. I had no plans to go to this year but if at all possible, i will now.

Love the lineup this year.. Fekin savage.

Meh. Knackerville. Lollapalooza FTW

If you pause the video at 00:32 you can pinpoint the exact moment hip-hop died:

News just in:

MCD have shocked the scummer nation with news that both Eminem and Jay-Z are to headline this year's upcoming Oxegen festival.
The promotion company has been working with Dublin City Council to eradicate the knacker population.
A 2 hour meeting with MCD and Dublin City Council resulted in success by luring two knacker favourites, Jay-Z and Eminem to headline the so called "rock & roll festival".
"It's the only way we'll get them all in the one place at the same time", explained a Dublin City Council employee.
The plan is to drop a large canister of toxic gas overhead onto the unsuspecting scumbags.

Stay on topic please.

I was just thinking.... Lads get your Dutch Gold soon. It's all gonna be gone the week leading up to the weekend.

Snas · 23-02-2010 07:10PM

This lineup makes me cry.

Would I get into Electric Picnic at 17? :P

Most likely yeah. I've never been checked for ID (except going to get a pint in the main arena) so I wouldn't really worry about it.

Eminem and Jay-Z are great, it's their fans that are the problem

Edit: Does this mean that the Daft Punk rumours aren't true? Goddamn it

Yay! Means I will be going to Electric Picnic instead now! Was trying to decide which, but the skank factor has won me over and allows me not to participate. Although, some young ones could be looking for a nice fella to give them a fingering...luv

Well i'm sure there'll be enough Anto's and Deco's at Oxegen so enjoy EP!

cartman555 · 23-02-2010 08:50PM

simply the BEST oxegen line up EVER! actually probably even the best concert line-up ever in Ireland! JAY-Z and EMINEM! still cant believe they could get acts that good!:D usually the oxegen line-up is muck but this year its gunna be amazing!

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 23-02-2010 08:58PM

I love Jay-Z, Eminem, BEP and Florence and The Machine. Wish I was allowed go.:(

falan · 23-02-2010 09:14PM

Each to their own, but i certainly wont be going to Oxegen. It was good in the early years but now its gone too commercialised for me. I'm gonna take my chances at EP,Indiependance and life.

Catari Jaguar · 23-02-2010 09:20PM

Jesus wept. Who'd have thunk the ****test festival ever could get ****ter?

A mix of D4 trendies AND knackers. That impending massacre will sort out my two most hated demographics.
